iptables can generate an RST response as well which is what Shorewall has it generate in response to a REJECTed TCP connection request.
Thanks, Tom. I'd missed that in the iptables docs.
I don't know if you know the history of the longstanding problems LRP/LEAF had with auth/ident requests, but this new capability should address that problem as well. It's good to know.
I have the following in my /etc/shorewall/common file: . /etc/shorewall/common.def run_iptables -A common -p tcp -m multiport --dports auth,139,445 -j REJECT
Something similar might not be a bad idea for Bering if ident/auth hangs have been a problem.
